“I wanna trust you…it’s just hard. I feel like you’ve been pulling away from me lately. You leave me every summer and I know it’s for your music, but when you come back…it’s always a change.”

“Look baby…I’m sorry things had to go down like this, but I thinks it’s for the best if we just chill.” Nikki starts crying.

“No! You can’t just end it like this!”

“Nikki please don’t do dat…please baby…this is hard enough.”

“GET OUT TREY!” he stares at her face as the tears continue to run down it making her mascara run. “GET OUT!” pointing to the door…He leaves out of the front door as she wished.

One year later

“Yo shawty can I hollar at chu for a minute?” The young lady turns back around and walks over to Tremaine’s locker. She’s holding her books in her hand staring him in the face.

“How you doin?” Tremaine is scanning over her shapely body.

“I’m fine.”

“Sweetheart what’s ya name?”

“Shanell.”

“I never seen you here before you must be new.”

“I am. I just transferred here for my senior year. Today is my first day.”

“It’s also your lucky day. Look I’ma do you a favor and carry these books….taking them out of her hands…for you to ya class.

“That won’t be necessary…looking to get a name…”

“Tremaine but you can call me Trey.”

“Well Trey…taking the books back…thanks for the offer, but I can carry my books myself. I will however take you up on your offer to walk me to my class. I’m not sure where this room is…” showing him her schedule.

“Oh you got Mrs. Auburn…you goin my way.” walks her down the hall and up the steps to the classroom.

“Thanks for showing me where to go. I guess you better hurry up and get to yours before the bell rings.”

“Baby I’m gud…my class is right across the hall…” nodds head in that direction smiling. Shanell smiles back.

“Well thanks again Trey.”

“You’re welcome baby.” Suddenly Paige walks by Trey and Shanell since they were standing by the classroom doorway.

Mumbles “He at it again…agitated…Move fool!”

“Aye Paige…what I tell you bout dat…watch ya mouth…you can’t be da man all da time.” Shanell didn’t know what to think and just stood there listening to the two of them.

“Sorry you had to hear that…he plucks my nerves.” Then she rolls her eyes at him and walks in the room. Shanell then stared back at Trey.

“I’ll see you later baby.” Then he hurriedly makes his way across the hall.

Once class was over Trey was looking for Shanell but didn’t catch up to her again until he spotted her when he had lunch. He noticed her sitting with Paige. Paige was on the cheerleading squad and also the captain. Trey decided to go over and break up their little conversation they had going on.

“What happened?” Shanell and Paige both looked at Trey wondering what he was talking about, but his focus was on Shanell.

“What do you mean what happened?” she curiously asked.

“I thought I was showing you to ya classes. You don’t need me already?” Paige folded her arms and looked at Trey like he was selling bullshit.

“Oh…I’m sorry. I only meant that one class.”

“Don’t pay him any mind Shanell. What do you want Trey?”

“Not yo ass.” Shanell looks at Trey with her mouth wide open from his response. Then Trey laughs it off and walks behind Paige to hug her. “Nah I’m just playing. How you doin today baby?” Shanell still looked puzzled. Paige sees her face and explains as Trey is still hugging her from behind.

“He’s plays around like this all the time. We have this love hate thing going on. I pays him no mind.” she stressed. Then he lets her go and puts his focus back on Shanell.

“You need a hug too baby?”

“I’m good.”

“You sho? I’ve been told I give the best hugs…you should lemme show you and then you can tell me whatchu think.” Shanell smiles.

“I’ll take your word for it.”

“Yeah ight. I’ll see y’all later.”

“Trey wait!” he looks back to see what Paige wants.

“Is it true that your performing again in the school’s talent show?”

“How you find dat out?”

“Is it? Just tell me because if you are I want to be there.” Then Shanell looked at Trey.

“Perform…as in what?”

“I guess you’ll have to come to the show and find out baby.” Then he walked off. Shanell couldn’t wait to find out so she asked Paige and she told her that Trey sings. She was surprised. She thought to herself, he has good looks and can sing…I better watch him.

*******

Nikki saw Trey talking to Paige and Shanell. She was sitting in the lunchroom with her girls and decided to go and see what was going on with Trey. She caught him as he was at the vending machine.

“So you’re not going to speak to me today? You got time to talk to everyone else.”

“You know it’s not even like dat. I haven’t seen you till now…everythang cool?”

“Everything’s great….sooo you know the new girl already?” Trey puts a handful of skittles in his mouth…chewing

“Yeah I know her.”

“So you tryna talk to her now?” Trey sighs.

“How long we gone do this Nikki?”

“Do what…I can’t wanna know who’s about to take my place.”

“Do yaself a favor baby…leggo…I still love you doe…I’ll talk to you later.” he walks away

“You can’t say that to me Trey and expect me to give up on us…she yells…I’m gonna get you back!”

VA here we come. Treys family rented a hall and had a big welcome home dinner for him with his cousins and a lot of his boys were there. We only had three hours to spend with everyone. It was nice meeting some of his relatives that Ive never met before. Trey can be so playful at times. I loved watching him with his little cousins flipping them over his shoulders and chasing them around the room. He seemed so relaxed. He needed this. I know he really misses spending time with his family and friends I guess thats why he works so hard, before long he wont have too.

I never did mention to him what I knew about him and Paige. My mind has been all over the place lately that I know when I talk to him I have to have a clear head. I let Paige know that her and Crystal were covered for tonights show so Ill be seeing them tonight. Paige was so happy I called her and was still apologizing for what happened. I had to cut her off again because I just wasnt ready to deal with my feeling on that. She thanked me for looking out and told me that shed see me later.

Trey was in his dressing room getting ready before the show. His boys was back there Redd, Finch and Jay just shooting the breeze having a bunch of laughs. Jay was on the internet on his phone and came across something.

(J) Yo! Trey check dis out?
(T) Whatchu got some porn or somethin?
(J)Nigga I wish look. It was a picture of Shanell and El holding hands in the club. Trey saw it and brushed it off like it was nothing. Redd and Finch peeped it out.
(F) Who dat nigga? Jay reads the caption.
Shanell Weiss and ex El Harris holding hands as sparks fly
(R Trey you talk to ya girl about this?
(T) Man I dont pay attention to dat shit they can doctor anything up to make it look real nowadays.
(J) This dont look doctored up.
(T) Nigga dats the point. They all started laughing at Jay. Deep down inside Trey was fuming about that picture.

Hey there. El turned to the side to see who was talking to him.
Hey lil mama whats up?
Youre Shanells friend right?
Why you wanna know?
Oh just making conversation since I saw you talking to her.
Shes more than a friend thats gone be my baby momma.
Well damn! Its like that?
She my baby she just mad wit me right now.
Hmm thats strange I was told she was seeing Trey Songz. Crystal really started peeking Els interest to hear more.
Is that so.
And so it is I wouldnt plan on her being your baby momma anytime soon.
That nigga cant compete wit what we had I ont give a fuck what his status is.
Oh so you guys have dated before?
You damn right and I plan on us getting back.
I would really like to see that happen.
Oh its gonna happen believe dat!
Then Paige walks over and sees Crystal talking to El. She got a bad vibe about him and didnt want to be around him.
Come on Crystal Im ready to go.
Aye Crystal wont you give me ya numba so we can talk some more.
Sure. She gives El her phone number and then her and Paige leave.
Why would you give him your number?
I think we can help each other out 

*******

I was quiet the whole drive home. LA was looking really good to me right now. I had this overwhelming feeling and just wanted to get away. I thanked my cousin for picking me up and tried to pay him for it but he said he was cool. I went in the house and went to bed. Trey ended up calling me about 4:00 am. I let it go to the voicemail and then listened to his message.

I guess you sleepin but uh, sounds of laughter and music in the background nigga get dat shit outta here fucks wrong witchu sorry baby I just was calling to check on you was thinkin bout you and wanted to hear ya voice I got Paige and Crystal covered for the show in VA too, so dey straight ight baby Ill see you in a bit love you 

(P) Crystal why would you say that?
(C Cause you being a hypocrite.
(P) Thats not what Im talking about.
(S) Wait a minute so you slept with Trey before Paige? Paige couldnt even look at me. Her eyes were still on Crystal.
(P) Shanell that happened a long time ago and it wasnt while he was with Nikki either. she said rolling her eyes at Crystal.
(C I thought you told me that.
(P) No, that was Asia that he cheated with on Nikki. My mind was spinning and it wasnt from the drinks.
(S) Paige can you take me home now Im ready to go better yet, never mind Ill call someone to pick me up. I stood up from the table to leave it, to call my cousin in private.
(C I know you not gettin upset with her over something that happened before you were even in the picture .thats just stupid.
(P) Crystal shut up sometimes! Shanell you gotta know that me and Trey are just good friends. Thats it I mean it was so long ago we dont even acknowledge that we  I put my hand up to stop her.
(S) I dont even wanna hear anymore. Believe it or not Paige Im not even mad about that. I just got some other things on my mind that I need to deal with.
(C Its mighty funny you leavin after you heard that tho why you leaving then?
(P) Crystal shut da fuck up! Then Paige gets up and stands in front of me. Please dont get upset with Trey about this. It really was nothing I cant stress that enough to you. Its like it never even happened Shanell and you and Trey make a great couple youre really good for him. I just stared her in her face as she spoke.
(S) I never thought I wasnt good for Trey, Paige. My concern is whats good for me. Good night ladies. I called my cousin Lebron to come and pick me up and waited for him in the lobby area of the club. Meanwhile Paige and Crystal was still there. Crystal saw El over at the bar getting a drink and decided to go over and talk to him.

Youre the one who felt the need to do what you had to do and got caught up! Dont ever blame your going to jail on me. I went through hell after that incident trying to clear my name because of ya sorry ass, accidentally accused of being an accomplice, but never again.
Never say never baby I gave you the world and Ill do it again. Im gonna always love you you aint never getting rid of me so tell that chump dont get too comfortable. Something had definitely changed about El. It scared me a little. I didnt say anything else
I just left him standing there and caught up with Paige and Crystal. We were sitting at a table talking.

C You two looked mighty cozy who was that?
(P) Crystal you are one newsy ass chick.
(S) Believe me no one.
(C Shanell where Trey at tonight?
(P) You mean to tell me you dont know ms. I spy?
(S) I dont know Crystal havent talked to him today.
(C Why I would be on dat ass everyday checking up on him.
(P) Everybodys not a stalker like you.
(C I would only do that with him all that sexy has to be checked up on from time to time.
(S) I dont do that with Trey. I trust him.
(C He must trust you too then.
(S) As a matter of fact he does.
(P) He got more reason to trust her than she has to trust him all those women.
(C It only takes one person to cheat right Shanell.
(S) I dont worry about that. If hes gonna cheat hes gonna cheat Ill deal with it when and if it happens Crystal. Crystal was starting to get under my skin. This is why I dont like to hang out with females a lot. She seems to be trying to insinuate something and Im not gonna give in to her shenanigans.
(P) Thats how I feel too Shanell shit if they do it, what can you do but cut the shit outta them once you find out. Paiges humor was right on time.
(C How you gone say some shit like that when you cheated with Trey when he was with
Nikki. Paige looked at crystal with venom in her eyes. I looked at Paige stunned.

Damn look at my sweetness. If looks could kill he would be dead. I was not in the mood to fool with him. You here up in da club what da fucks up wit dat?
I dont owe you any explanations.
Whoa whats up wit all the hostility nigga do a bid and you lose ya fuckin mind.
El why are you here?
Oh since when did you own the club I can be here.
Im not referring to the club why are you in my space.
My baby done got all hard and shit on me dat shits sexy on you. arms folded with an attitude
I dont know what youre talking about.
Sweetness I know you still hurtin behind what happened thats why Im tryna make it up to you.
Hurting you think Im still stuck on something that happened over five years ago El Im passed that and Im furthermore passed you. Only if he knew.
It is true huh? I looked at him sideways not understanding.
Whats true?
You seeing that punk ass nigga Trey Songz.
Goodbye El. attempting to walk away
Whatchu walking away for it must be true. swings head around to respond
Who Im dating, if Im dating is none of your business El Im asking you nicely can you please just leave me alone? He grabs both of my hands. I had no idea Crystal and Paige was walking over to us were steady talking.
Look sweetness wont you just forgive a brutha and why you at it let me hit dat one more time for old time sake then Ill consider leaving you alone. I quickly removed my hands from his grasp.
Hell no El! I dont 
(P) Shanell I seen a table over there so were gonna go sit down I just wanted to tell you where we were.
Im coming. They walk off. El have a nice life and stay out of mine. I went to walk away but he grabbed my arm.
You think you can say those words to me and get rid of me that easily I went to jail for ya ass you owe me.
Oh no lets get something straight you went to jail because of your own greed, it had nothing to do with me. I never asked you or expected you to provide what you couldnt afford.

Then my mom got up from the dining room table to get comfortable and unpack. I was glad to get my mothers advice. It was a lot to digest so I decided to ponder on her words before I made any decisions on what to tell Trey.

*******

Tonight was the night that me, Paige and Crystal was gonna hang. I was actually a little excited about it. Since being with Trey Ive been exposed to more clubs than a little bit. The idea of it wasnt as foreign anymore. I wasnt a girl who did a whole lot of dancing so once we got there I knew that was not jumping off. I only dance for my baby. The club was packed wall to wall. We couldnt even find a table. We decided to go get some drinks and find a spot to stand in. We had guys on us immediately like moths to a flame. Crystal and Paige went out on the dance floor with the guys that asked them to dance. I of course was the odd ball and turned my guy down. I was enjoying the music rocking and having my own little party. I wasnt feeling his interruption.

female Excuse me but are you the girl in the photos with Trey Songz?
me playing dumb Who? She spoke a little louder thinking I didnt hear her.
The singer Trey Songz are you that girl in the photos?
Oh no thats not me.
I swear she looks just like you.
I get that a lot, but Im not her. Then the female walks back with her friends. I was starting to get annoyed already and I just got here. To make matters worst my ex spotted me and was walking over to me.

Cheating no the falling out of love I wouldnt say falling out of love, but you have your days where youre not sure if you want to fight or just throw in the towel because of situations that may arise .but then your father will do some small gesture that means so much and it will remind me of why I fell in love with him in the first place.

Im just not sure if I will be able to get use to all of this I mean its been so chaotic these past three years mom and hes really just getting started. You know after that whole ordeal with El how I shy away from the spotlight and hate people getting in my business.

I know and I cant stand him for making you go through that but sweetheart you need to remember one thing, if youre not happy how can you be happy with someone else. This has to be right for you too. You have your future to think about your hopes and dreams and that needs to co-exist with whomever you decide to share your life with. Trey is making his dream come true and these are the sacrifices that hes willing to make because its what he wants. You need to figure out if youre willing to make the same ones without losing who you are in the process.

Ugh this is so hard 

Shanell do you really love Trey?

Of course I do thats what makes this so hard its not my love thats in question its the lifestyle that I have my doubts about.

Baby if you love him stay true to yourself first and then be honest with him about it. If you cant deal with his lifestyle then you need to love him enough to let him go now. I know your heart doesnt feel like it can do that, but the one thing Ive learned is theres no stopping real love. It may be absent from the eyes but it will always be present in the mind and in the heart. Learned that from your grandmother.

I was just looking down listening to my moms words playing with my nails.

She asked me what Trey thought about it and my moving to LA. We finally did get to touch more on that subject once we got pass the security issues. I told her he was happy for me. He said the sweetest thing, Baby I dont care where I hafta travel to see you aint no amount of distance gone stop me from bein where you are. That made me feel so good knowing he would also sacrifice for me.

My parents did eventually get to meet Trey several years ago. Thank god it was before his fan base was as big as it is now. He keeps too many people around him now, but they like him. Its weird when Im watching him on TV perform with my mom in the room. She be steady singing his songs with me. She still think shes young singing with a hair brush. Her and my auntie are alike in so many ways besides their faces, but my auntie is still way cooler than her. My dad gets along real well with Trey too. Hes actually flown him around from time to time. The two male loves of my life. After I shared the good news I spoke with her about my dilemma.

Shanell what did you think was going to happen when you starting dating someone pursing a singing career?
I didnt really think that far in advance mom. I mean I mostly thought about our time being an issue because of all the traveling he was gonna have to do I didnt really think of my life being on blast along with his.
Well sweetie yes I can see that you didnt realize the full scope of that type of lifestyle but it is very demanding definitely in the public eye time will be spent apart and people will want what you have and try to tear it apart.
Mom how do you and dad do this I mean I know its not exactly the same because the whole world isnt in your business, but you guys spend a lot of time apart Do you ever worry about cheating or I dont know, falling out of love with one another?

lol @ her mother feenin 2 tell her business 2 her father. and uh oh. don't tell me shanell about 2 start ignorin trey when he calls or the other way around. smh. i'm pretty sure this story is gunna have a bunch of twists and turns. just look @ the title. lol. i can't wait 2 c what pops off

Let's just say it's about to get heated...This section is called Please Return My Call for a reason...lol...but to all of you reading this I'm glad you're enjoying it and I really appreciate the comments...it let's me know you are reading it. Thank you ladies.

Well I think this was just an isolated incident. I dont think theyll be on me when I move.
Shid! You gone be in LA. They real thirsty wit theres.
Trey you know how I value my independence. Plus I dont want to go into this job with people all in my business wondering why I need security.
Look baby I completely get where you comin from, but I dont think you understand we can try our best to keep as much as we can private but in this business your business one way or another becomes everyone elses.
Well I dont want everyone up in my business its our business.
You right! Its suppose to be our business but people are always gonna try to find a way to get in it you gotta just be prepared and learn how to deal with it.
Trey I refuse to start my career in LA. going to work with security.
What if it happens again then what?
I dont know this is becoming too much the stories about us paparazzi and now security I dont know if I could get use to this Trey.
Listen baby I cant talk long about this right now I know this lifestyle is gonna take some gettin use to, but I want us to finish talkin bout this later I gotta go, but Ima call you.
Ok.
Baby I love you.
I love you too.

*******

Please Return My Call

Shanell

After we spoke again I told Trey that I would think about having security around me but for now I will get my cousin Lebron to be with me you know, to have a male figure around and another set of eyes at least until I move. The idea of having a stranger following me around and invading my privacy was starting to be a bit much. More realities were starting to set in and I was having my doubts. My mom was home from her tour she just did and I really needed to talk to her. First I shared my good news about the job that I had gotten. She was so happy that I found something that I was going to enjoy doing and was following my dream. She couldnt wait to tell my dad I thought it was my good news to share.

I figured it was best if I just kept my mouth closed so thats what I did. I finally made it in my car and abruptly pulled off. I couldnt believe they came after me like that. How did they find out who I was? Oh great now my pictures gonna be plastered on a blog or something, along with blatant lies. Once I got home I called Treys assistant since I couldnt get in touch with Trey to let her know what happened. She was very apologetic about the situation and told me that its possible I may have to have some security with me, but dont worry yet. She wants to talk to Trey first, but she assured me that she would make sure he gave me a call.

*******
Trey

Trey was with Rebecca trying on different outfits for a photo shoot. CiCi walks in.
Trey we need to talk.
Whats up? has a concerned look
It seems the paparazzi harassed Shanell today when she was out at the mall.
Fuck!
I know 

She ight!
She seemed ok when I spoke to her.
She definitely aint gone like whats comin I need to call her.
So I take it you want some sort of security with her too then?
You mind talkin to Buggzi and askin him to look into it?
Of course not.
Rebecca lemme take a minute and call her.
Ok Trey, but please make it quick your on a tight schedule you know how picky you are and we need to get this done.
Me taking a few minutes aint gone throw us off schedule that much Ill be as fast as I can.
Fine. she throws her hands up

Trey picks up the phone and calls Shanell.

Trey Oh Im so glad you called.
Baby you ight?
Yeah Im fine I was more so caught off guard by it than anything.
Yeah dats exactly how they want it too shits fucked up you know I might have to have security around you right.
No you wont. Its not gonna be necessary.
Why not?
Ill be moving.
Moving where you goin?
Babe I gotta job working for OK Magazine in LA.
Dats good baby but why you wont need security?

I finished up the rest of my shopping and as soon as I walked out of the mall the paparazzi was there bombarding me with questions and taking pictures.

(P) Sources tell us youre the one in all the photos thats been taken with Trey Songz  flash
(P) Were you with him the night he got arrested  flash
(S) What?!?! walking quickly to my Benz
(P) Is it true you yourself had a criminal record that was expunged  flash
(S) Please I dont know what youre talking about leave me alone flash flash
(P) An outside source told us that Trey Songz arrest was for police brutality can you confirm or deny any of these allegations...

Oh God excuse her Shanell shes a huge fan of him into his every move I dont know why he aint all dat!
Excuse me youre talking bout my man now they laugh are you and Trey gonna ever get along?
Girl you know Im only playing Trey my boy I cant believe how well hes doing the damn thing. I was trying to get backstage passes but his security was so tight I couldnt get to him when I saw him last.
Maybe his girl can get us some now.
Ill see what I can do. I dont even know where hell be performing next  Crystal interrupted Hell be back in VA. my facial expression turns inquisitive
Oh really?
Yup doing a show with Chris Brown. Paige shook her head looking at Crystal.
Thats a damn shame how much ya ass know about him.
Tell me about it wow you are a fan.
Girl Ive been wanting his ass you know dat Paige you lucky I didnt start hearing more about him until after he left for NJ cause thats when this one here started talking about him he wouldve been my man first but since Ive met you I wont take ya man.
Gee thanks.
You welcome I heard him on the radio today he was talking about his girlfriend now I know who he was talking about.
Anyway Shanell cause this girl will talk your head off about Trey.
No its ok shes a fan I understand Ill talk to him and see what I can do. I know hell be glad to see you Paige.
Yeah sure just so he can fuck with me like old times.
You know it.
Shanell here take my number and call me. Us three should hang out before I go home.
Ok Ill call you I better get going have a lot of things to do hugs Paige again talk to you later nice meeting you Crystal.
Tell Trey his numba one says hey!
I will.

(A) Good for you Trey I hope the next time we see each other things will still be all good now is she someone in the industry 
(T) Nah shes someone Ive known before I was Trey Songz 
(A) Gotcha Well be back with more of Trey Songz in a minute dont go away 

It feels so good to hear him acknowledge me the way that he does. I try to keep a low profile where Trey is concerned. His team has been working very hard to keep it that way especially for my own safety. Ive been photographed a few times but the angles were never good so theyve never really seen my face. Its gradually starting to be a reoccurring thing which is starting to get to me but Im really trying for Trey.
I decided to go to the Lenox Square Mall and get some shopping done to prepare for my move. I figured Trey would give me a call later. As I was driving there I thought I noticed a car following me, but then after a while I didnt see it anymore. As Im looking in Neiman Marcus I bumped into an old friend.

I know thats not Paige! she turns around
Hey Shanell! we give each other a hug
What are you doing here?
My best friend lives here shes right over there calls her over Crystal she walks over to us This is a friend of mine from high school Shanell. she shakes my hand and speaks
How you doing.
Fine nice to meet you Crystal.
Crystal shes Treys girlfriend.
What get da fuck outta here Paige Oh Im so hating on you right now he is so freakin HAWT!!!
Id have to agree. I said.
Oh we gone have to chat I need to know how does it feel having a man as fine as him whats he like he seems so cool Ive never had the honor of knowing him like you guys me and Paige went to one of his shows girl he seems like his pipe game done improved he can put it down cant he?
What do you mean by improved?
Im just talking about the way he moves them hips and work those lips when he be on stage singing it seems like he gets better and better at it.

After I hung up on El I realized they actually had Trey in the studio. I leaned on the island and just listened to his interview
(A) We have ya boy Trey Songz in the building today Trey say hello to the listeners.
(T) Whats happening New York 
(A) So whats up Trey?
(T) Whats up wit you baby 
(A) You staying outta trouble 
(T) Always I always try to stay outta trouble 
(A) Alright now I dont wanna hear no more stories about you fightin with the cops 
(T) Nah baby its all good 
(A) Well we have some callers on the line that wanna talk and ask a few questions first theres MeMe MeMe are you there 
(M) Yes Im here 
(A) Youre on the line with Trey Songz 
(T) What up baby 
(M) OMG! Trey!
(T) How you doin baby 
(M) screams OH I cant believe Im talking to you I love you Trey 
(T) Aw I love you too baby 
(M) No Trey Im serious are you single 
(T) Nah baby 
(M) Aww 
(A) You just crushed a lot of listeners hopes saying that 
(T) Dont be sad baby its all love where you callin from 
(M) Brooklyn, NY 
(A) MeMe make sure you cop the album Trey Day alright 
(M) I will I still love you Trey if ya girl aint enough holla  laughs in the studio
(A) How is that dealing with the fans and the groupies being in a relationship 
(T) I mean it can be hard at times you know women are everywhere I never know what to expect from my fans sometimes but uh I know they do what they do because they love me and I wouldnt be here if it wasnt for them 
(A) So how does your girlfriend feel about the women and the groupies because I know that has to be hard on her 
(T) She understands its apart of the business she knows I love her and ultimately I know she holds me down at the end of the day shes whats real love you baby 

Hearing his voice and him say that made me wanna go to that radio station and fuck him on the spot he just sends me over the top but all I could do was say Aw I love you too baby back after I heard it.

My dad of course was in the blue skies and my mom was sailing in the blue seas. I believe she was due to be home soon. I decided to call my Auntie Sharon and share the news with her. As soon as I started dialing the number I heard Whats up baby its ya boy Trey Songz witcha girl Angie Martinez, the voice of New York on HOT 97 fm. Then they played one of his songs.

Oh shit! I was so excited I cussed. I usually try not to use profanity. I ran and turned the intercom volume up so loud. I immediately tried to call Trey, but I got his voicemail. I would call him every time I heard one of his songs on the radio for the first time. I left him a message. Babe their playing your song Cant Help But Wait. I cant believe it! Holding the phone in the air Can you hear it? Damn I miss you anyway Im sure your busy but I have some news for you so give me a call when you get a chance love you. I hung up my phone and forgot all about calling my auntie. Then my cell rings but the number was blocked. I usually dont answer blocked numbers but I wasnt sure if it was Trey so I answered it.

Hello.
Hows my sweetness? This was not the voice I was hoping to hear.
What do you want El?
Thats how you treat a nigga you use to fuck wit?
USE is the key word when did you get out?
Im fresh out the box coming to get my baby back we gotta lot of catching up to do.
Look El we have nothing to talk about when you screwed up, that was it for me. I dont want nothing to do with you. Just lose my number and leave me alone click 
I couldnt believe he had the nerve to call me like everything was ok like I was just going to pick back up where we left off. He was sadly mistaken.

They are always looking for a story. It made me think about my career path. I definitely would not take a job getting celebrity dirt. Once we were together he explained to me what happened and assured me Trey was ok. I was filled with relief.

In a trance thinking back to that night

Slowly peeking opening the hotel room door
Hello Mr. Songz is it ok for me to come in? Trey comes from the bathroom
Damn right baby kisses me dey bringing up ya bags?
Yeah Im so mad I missed the show stupid plane with delays.
I deal wit dat shit all the time Im sorry you missed it too pulls me close and palms my ass you dont know how good it feels to have you here right now. He was in his boxers about to take a shower.
It looks like Im just in time.
Fosho!
I hear some fans were after my goods  rubbing my hands down his sculptured arms
He only reacts to you doe. pushing up on me closer
I guess I shouldnt make him wait any longer than huh?
What we waitin fo.

I spent a nice stretch of time with Trey on that visit. I saw a lot that really made me think about this lifestyle that we were about to live. He always had cameras in his face and I started to notice stories being told that were all lies. Or they take some of the truth and twist it to suit their story. This is definitely a roller coaster ride and were really just beginning. I still cant help but to wonder if we have what it takes to sustain this type of relationship. Im also starting to question if this is something that I can really handle for the long haul.

I had enough money saved for me to make the transition to LA. Being a journalist was my dream. I would be working in the Public Relations Arena. Mainly clerical duties at first and then eventually pitching clients for an interview for our magazine. Anything to get my foot in the door. I couldnt wait to tell Trey my good news. Thinking of him made me turn on the radio. I couldnt wait to tell my parents too.
